Synopsis "Culture and Diversity: Stories for Work and Life (in English)"
Culture and Diversity; Stories for Work and Life is suited for anyone interested in the challenges and opportunities of adjusting to and living happily in a globalized world. A world where we're increasingly faced with great diversity in culture, religion, language, sexual orientation, perspectives and values, both in work and personal life. Illustrating theory with stories and pictures - sometimes with a humorous angle - we are invited to reflect, question ourselves, empathize and broaden our sense of inclusion. The author shares her experiences, reflections and observations, seen from the angle of a nomadic Norwegian national, a woman, a Diversity and Inclusion passionista. There are also numerous guest stories that enrich the book with various perspectives, the aim being that the reader will be inspired to find own solutions and actions about diversity and inclusion. A first class book for newcomers and experts alike. This really is an excellent book for anyone who wants to understand more about the complex worlds of culture, diversity, and inclusion. I use the word complex because these are areas that constantly surprise those who work in these fields. For, just when you think that you understand an issue, another perspective will reveal itself that sends you back to the drawing board again. Despite this Sunniva'Heggertveit-Aoudia's book is surprisingly easy to read, she knows how to ask the right questions and her obvious passion and enthusiasm for her subject matter shines through to the reader from every page. It is written in warm personable style which makes the difficult subject matter easier to digest and absorb. A delightful, valuable, and an interesting read. - Alan Cornes, author of the books Culture from the Inside Out. Travel - And Meet Yourself and Moral Me? Making good decisions in an intercultural world
